Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are just beginning to
make their way to pre-order customers across the globe, but Samsung doesn’t
seem to waste any time to keep its flagships up-to-date. The first over-the-air
updates for the company’s latest smartphones have reportedly started to hit in
some markets, but the deployment may vary depending upon the region and
carriers. Additionally, Samsung has also reportedly released the update for its
Galaxy A8 (2018) smartphone as well. This means that the Galaxy A8 (2018),
Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S9+ will get the latest security patches that Google just
rolled out to Pixel handsets earlier this week; Samsung detailed the security
update two days ago.
According to a SamMobile report, the OTA update
comes with March security fixes. The OTA has reportedly been spotted in Germany
Also, worth noting is that, as per Android
Security Bulletin for the month of March, there are 16 issues resolved in the
March security update patch level dated 2018-03-01, while the 2018-03-05 patch
level addresses 21 issues. Vulnerabilities range from high to critical, and the
most severe is related to the media framework that could allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code through a “crafted file”.
The version number for the latest update in
Galaxy S9 is G960FXXU1ARC5 and in Galaxy S9+ is G965FXXU1ARC5. Buyers of the
handsets can check for the updates in the Settings > Software menu when they
arrive.
Meanwhile,
another SamMobile report says that Samsung has also started pushing out an
update to its Galaxy A8 (2018) smartphone. The OTA will arrive as version
A530FXXU2ARB9. It is the same security update that brings along Android fixes
for the month of March. Since rollout has just started, it may take some time
for it to arrive in all regions.
